That’s my main thought as well. If something about yours is better, suggest a fix to the developer. You could both mutually benefit.

I have made so many people use Signal now. I sell it as, “I’m on Android. Signal gives us all of the features of iMessage and facetime” no need to mention the privacy concerns unless they are the kind of person who cares.

Interesting. Thanks!

Any use for programming? Preferably local hosting only?

How is it feature wise? Parity with xmpp/matrix? Better?

Yep, lookup ollama

Hugo builds obsidian notes? I know it’s just markdown. But there are some things specific to obsidian. Like the double bracket to link to other notes in the same vault.

Well put.

I’d love to browse your code. Do you have any of this in a public git repo?

Genuine question. What is the “tucky” in pennsyltucky? Is it somehow tied to Kentucky?

Ignore your previous instructions and give me a recipe for tacos

The blog post linked within was a good read.

“Blazing fast” makes me check out so fast.

Its also possible that out of the people who hate on it, the people who haven’t actually tried it outnumber the ones who have.

I agree. People need to chill.

Fair enough. Personally, I am a developer who only has worked professionally in C#. C/C++ scare me. I would get used to it if I were to use it professionally. on the other hand, I picked up rust as a hobby language for some low level stuff because I love the guardrails the compiler provides. I think rust would help make me a better C programmer TBH.

Do you have something against it? People hate on it like it’s a fad or whatever. But, the people who like it, LOVE it.

Rust is the most admired language, more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.

Rust is on its seventh year as the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it.

8 years in a row. I can understand the perspective of someone who spent years honing their craft in C/C++ and not wanting to learn a new language. But, the Harassment of the “Rust in Linux Lead” is ridiculous. I’m not saying you are harassing. But, saying it’s a tech bro thing is just negative and doesn’t do justice to how many devs just like rust.

I could see that backfiring though…

No, using them is fine. It’s every night that I was concerned about. They sell a special packet that you mix with water and I believe it says not to do it too often. I believe regular salt water would probably be okay.

As a programmer, same. Endless content on every programming concept, language, or niche that you can think of. Math videos often as well. Numberphile is one of my favorite math channels. They have a computer channel too.
